UK: V B Fine Art, 2014. 'Walls with Wounds' was a landmark exhibition by Dale vN Marshall, a Coventry University Fine Art graduate. Originally a graffiti artist spray-painting the walls of Bristol under the tag 'Vermin', Marshall was sectioned in 1999 in one of Britain's oldest asylums, St Lawrence's Hospital in Cornwall. 'Walls with Wounds' draws inspiration not only from graffiti and Marshall's time at St Lawrence's, but also from his studio, a former Victorian workhouse in North Wales, its decaying walls inscribed by children over 100 years ago. Each painting is inspired by a dramatic memory and represents a healing journey through physical destruction and repair. Marshall's layered, multi-media works consist of a symbolic language of abstract expression and mark-making. The result is a series of vibrant, powerful works, raw and emotive, documenting his personal journey from rebellion to rehabilitation. Exhibited at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum… Read More

UK: Macmillan, 1998. Signed first printing of the first novel to feature the Rev.
